When she was just one-year-old, Princess was taken into foster care by LCRP founders, Jimmy and Jenny.

“When Princess arrived, I knew I’d met my match,” Jenny says warmly. “We worked so hard together for months and she is simply the most wonderful dog ever. When potential adopters would come to meet her, she’d act as if she had just arrived that day and reverted to all the old behaviors. Hmmmm…I wonder if she picked us? She has now lived in nine countries with us and has also acted as an ambassador for dogs and how they should be considered a full member of your family anywhere in the world.”

Ten years later and with the founding of Liberia Chimpanzee Rescue & Protection, Princess is now a full fledged surrogate Mom and Caregiver for the chimpanzees in LCRP’s care.

Princess is loved by all and is always the first person greeted wherever the Desmond family goes!
